Canadian Beer Drinkers Menace Biosphere

Canadian taxpayers have financed a study that reveals inefficient "beer fridges" to be yet another cause of the imaginary climate change crisis. As British environmental consultant Joanna Yarrow piously chides:

People need to understand the impact of their lifestyles. Clearly the environmental implications of having a frivolous luxury like a beer fridge are not hitting home. This research helps inform people — let's hope it has an effect.

The study's lead researcher Denise Young of the University of Alberta suggests the authorities hold buy-backs of aging secondary refrigerators (inevitably financed once again by the long-suffering taxpayers). Another option is simply to confiscate any refrigerators that aren't new enough to suit bureauweenies. Property rights are a small price to pay for rescuing the polar bears.

I saw a post on another blog a while back. The author claimed that replacing all of the lightbulbs caused a fairly big drop in the electric bill.

Oh, an unused deep freeze was also unplugged.

I wonder which of those had more of an impace on the electric bill. They should have left the freezer plugged in to see what the real effect of changing lightbulbs was.

If you've ever had a warm Moosehead, then you know how bad an inefficient beer fridge can really be..

And what about the jet-fuel powered chilled champagne on Al Gore's flight to receive his Not-well Prize?

"People need to understand the impact of their lifestyles. "

Damn straight...so let's shutdown all concerts and movies. These unimportant entertainment industries rely on electricity and electronics, so--to prevent global warming--both need to be shutdown (except for acoustic peformances).

Senile Moonbat Times columnist afflicted with Parkinson's smears Bush and Republicans as immoral health-haters, because he considers 6 years headstart in stem cell research to keep liberal oxygen-wasters alive for another few years more important than the potential lifetimes of millions of human embryos.

You can have my ice-cold American, or basement-temp. cool German, beer when you pry them from my cold, dead hands. Maybe we ought to amend the 2nd Amendment to include brewski?
